  1. Theft Prevention

    But how do they stop the built in vehicle location tracking? so if the key is just laying loose in the house 30 feet from the door this relay tactic works? we have Nest 24/7 recording cameras at our drive entrance, porch and doorbell. When someone approaches all of our iPhones iPads and watch...
  2. Oil Extractor in Dipstick Question

    I ended up fiddling around with it more and using a smaller tube and fishing around repeatedly was able to pull out just over 5 quarts. With what was in the oil filter accounted for, it seems that at most 1/2 quart may have remained in the engine. When I filled the engine back up it took just...
  3. Wiper Recall

    That’s what I figured, but after working perfectly for a few years it still seems like a waste. Figured they have been well tested.
  4. Wiper Recall

    I got my truck in March of 2021 and within a month or two the wipers started acting erratically. They would stutter or quit completely for a few seconds. The dealer replaced the wiper assembly including the motor under warranty. I took my truck in today for a recall on the parking brake wiring...
  5. Transmission Fluid Change Reaction

    The wife and I trade our vehicles at 50k miles, or about every 4 years, but I still like to maintain them well. After watching YT channels like FordTechMakeuloco, I always get our vehicles transmission fluid changed at 30k miles. Every time the dealership tries to talk me out of it saying it...
  6. Oil Extractor in Dipstick Question

    After getting a skid plate in the face and seeing how thoroughly these extractors drain the oil I bought one to try. I stuck the tube down the dipstick hole Ond turned on the compressor. It quickly drained 2.5 quarts and then sucked air. I tried rotating and feeling for a lower spot with the...
  7. 150 vs 250 Ride Quality and Acceleration…

    This has been interesting to see all the viewpoints and thoughts. Since I haven’t noticed any issues and I have upgraded to truck tires, I think I will get another F-150. I have been wanting Bluecruise and didn’t realize the 250s don't offer it. I was also a little shocked at how pricey the HO...
  8. 150 vs 250 Ride Quality and Acceleration…

    My Long bed, super crew, XLT Powerboost FX4 with Max Tow rides better than any vehicle I have been in for years short of my dad’s 70s luxury cars. My old ‘99 Diesel Ram rides like a truck and bumps about knock your teeth out. I absolutely love the acceleration and quiet power of the Powerboost...
  9. PB Traction Control OFF

    That did the trick. I had no idea it was a dual function button. 🤦🏻‍♂️
  10. PB Traction Control OFF

    Yeah, it acts like TC is on even when it says it’s off.
  11. PB Traction Control OFF

    My truck has had gobs of power since new, but for optimal power from a stop I always have to ease into the throttle. If I floor it the truck will start to spin the tires and after a chirp it will cut power. It does this in all drive mode and turning off traction control doesn’t stop this. Is it...
  12. Adding Co-Pilot Assist 2.0 with Forscan?

    I feel your pain. I ordered my '21 and screwed up as you did. They sent me the order form and it wasn't on there and I missed it. The naming was pretty confusing, I got the Camera 360 and lane keeping, but not lane centering or adaptive cruise. I went ahead and got the truck and figured I would...
  13. My baby got beat the f*#% up

    I have been involved in a half dozen wrecks in my life, only 1 was mine. This honestly doesn't look that bad. I have seen quite a bit worse and they didn't total them. I am sure newer vehicles are probably even easier to work on than the older ones too. My last wreck was back in 2000 when I rear...
  14. Bass/Treble Setting Reset Constantly...

    About once a week I will notice the radio sounds rather flat and sure enough the tone setting have all reset to 0. Has anyone else noticed this?
  15. Steering Column Noise

    This noise showed up about a month ago when turning. It’s not very loud, but this was turning into my drive then straightening out the wheel.
  16. Update---Truck totaled. 6k miles on it. Help.

    Very sorry to hear this.. From the pics it looks like most of the damage is just sheet metal and body work. I wouldn't expect it to be a total loss unless you had some major mechanical damage.
  17. Felt Transmission Diaper...

    My only concern was that there is a sensor and wire fully exposed now. Anything you hit is going to rip that off. My Ram has steel skid plates and nothing too delicate underneath it that isn't protected.
  18. Felt Transmission Diaper...

    I went to pick up the truck, which they did Nothing to and was told I needed to pay a $139 diagnostic fee. I asked the girl what they diagnosed since the part was gone. She said they drove it to see if there was a scraping sound from anything dragging. I told her once again it had fallen down...
  19. Felt Transmission Diaper...

    Interesting. The dealer had replaced my oil 9 days before this happened.
  20. Felt Transmission Diaper...

    I was driving my 2021 F150 FX4 Powerboost in some snow last week. We got about 4 inches of thick wet snow that only lasted a day. I started to notice a dragging sound and found that the felt shield transmission cover was hanging down and waterlogged. The truck only has 20k miles on it and is...
